About
Carolina BalloonFest, hosted by National Balloon Rally Charities, Inc. a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is the second oldest hot air balloon festival in the country. Held annually on the third weekend in October, the festival features breathtaking balloon competitions, mass ascensions, and evening glows.
All the Color. All the Fun.
“The Carolina BalloonFest is pure joy from start to finish — the kind of event that feels magical no matter your age. From watching colorful hot air balloons fill the sky at sunrise and glow at night, to live music, local food, family-friendly activities, and the buzz of thousands of people coming together, there’s an energy you can’t quite describe until you experience it.”
